Once, long ago, there was no earth.
The Almighty wanted to control something. He took many feathers from
his headdress, some clay, and created Eagle. Eagle's job was to make
the Earth so the Almighty could rule something. Eagle, thinking creating
Earth would be too hard, kicked a pile of dirt in heaven. The dirt
fell and stuck together, creating Earth. Eagle spit at the Earth.
The spit formed rivers and oceans and lakes. The Earth looked bare,
thought the Almighty, and punched Eagle for not planting anything.
The blood fell in cracks and became lava. Using his great vision,
Eagle looked for seeds. He saw hundreds of seeds 500 feet away when
he was flying 100 feet in the air. Eagle planted the seeds and created
all animals including humans, from wood. That is how the world was
created.
